2014. One reason was because how we finished. You felt confident about going into the playoffs. 2007 was the total opposite. Finished the year losing 2 of 3. December was a very ugly month for that team. December was a giant success for 2014. I thought Romo was much better last year as well as a complete player. Only threw one pick on the road the entire season. Neither defense was that good. OL play was better for 2014.

Garrett was much better in 2014, too. He finally learned as a coach. Also, we went into the playoffs with what got us there. In 2007, we for some reason started our 2nd half back and wore him down. And became a methodical, TOP, milk the clock team in the Giants game. Total opposite from what we were in the regular season. We just completely botched the game from the jump with that strategy. I think the coaches were much to blame. Gameplan was solid for GB. Just didn't execute a few plays.

Oh and Crayton's drop on that 3rd down = Murray's fumble. Both had nothing but green in front of them.

Then crayton slows up on that last possession, too on an easy TD.

TO was still recovering from his ankle injury against the Panthers. Throw in that it was Terry Glenn's first game back, and our receivers struggled to get open, letting their pass rush take over in the 2nd half.
